"Russia has fought alone. is fight ing alone," Kerensky said. "France has had England to help her from the start and now America has come In." The premier was asked regarding the morale of the Russian people and the Russian army. He answered: "The masses are worn out economic ally. The disorganized state of life in general has had a psychological effect on the people. They doubt the possibility of the attainment of their hopes." j ' "What is the lesson to the democ racies of the world of the Russian revolution?" Future to Answer. "This," Premier Kerensky replied, "is for them to find out. They must not lose faith In the Russian revo lution because It Is not a political revolution, but an economical one and a revelation of facts. The Rus sian revolution Is only seven months old.

On clvar days, es pecially. German sniper became act ive. Mullets went sliming harmless ly overhead. American Infantrymen were tolled off to attend to any sniper who became active and more, than one of them will snipe American no more. This game of sniping the sniper waa highly popular. The only com plaint heard today was that there waa not enough rifle shooting to satisfy the Infantr.vmen. Several of the soldiers sntd they went out to fight but did not get enough. There Is no scarcity of expert rlflemun when j a sniper starts In. A colonel had un exciting experi ence when the Germans nearly got the ranee of an observation point In 'which he and his aide were. They lost no time In taking temporary cover. The artillery on both sides was rather more active during the Inst days In which the first contingent of Americans waa In the trenches, The Germans shelled the back areas and fapproachex, putting shrapnel and high explosive shells In the direction i or fne irrncnea ami nailery position. Aside from irvenlng up things fo a while, nothing was accomplished by the enemy. Tbe Infantry In one section had j quite a lively time for two nights. The Germans, thinking a hostile pa jtrol wns near them, opened fire with , tbelr rifles at the point where the opposing trenches win nearest. The Americans let the Germans fire for a lime tin (I then they themselves be gan to fire. Several German airplanes which I flew over the trenches were targets 1 for rifles and machine guns.

The greatest shock came on the north .where tbe Isonzo flrVt was j crossed.
